In the UK this week, attorneys working on behalf of Woods took steps to prevent publication of any such photos there and in UK territories. Without admitting that such photos might exist.
Reuters reported:
British law firm Schillings, which specializes in protecting the reputations of celebrities, obtained the injunction on Woods' behalf on Thursday at the High Court in London, partner Simon Smith told Reuters by phone on Friday.A letter from the lawyers accompanying the injunction contains a statement that "this Order is not to be taken as an admission that any such photographs exist."
The court order, which was acquired by and published on TMZ.com, prohibits publication of "any photographs, footage or images taken or obtained of the Claimant naked or any naked parts of the Claimant's body or of him involved in any sexual activity."
The law firm representing Woods in the UK case filed a letter to accompany the court order, which includes this:
"Our client is not aware of any images and in any event he would not have consented to any such photographs being taken nor would he have consented to the dissemination or exploitation of the same.... in the event that these photographs do exist, and it is not admitted, any such images may have been fabricated, altered, manipulated and or changed to create the false appearance and impression that they are nude photographs of our client."
